^^____After the fourth crusade the "Romaion Basileia", once the
^^____strongest kingdom in Europe, but declining after 1071 and
^^____the defeat in Matzikert, had broken up into many different 
^^____kingdoms.
^^____
^^____The strongest of those were the empire of Nicaea, in
^^____Anatolia, and in Epiros the Despotate of Epiros. The
^^____Despotate was the weakest of the two, however it almost
^^____got to become the new Byzantine Empire, reaching up to
^^____Constantinople. Thus it became the Empire of Thessalonike.

^You are urged to play as the Empire of Thessalonike, however the
^Empire of Bulgaria, and the Empire of Nicaea are fun to play
^as well.
